You can see that the roof is not from a 55-56 wagon. Could have come from a 59 Edsel- seems that the y had a lot lower profile. A beautiful build in any case.

I used Granada spindles on my 56 wagon. All you need to do is ream out the bottom hole with a 6 degree reamer. End of story.:)

Not sure about the 55, but the 56 Meteor is different than the Ford grille, not just the V. I have most parts for a 56, the park lights, and everything else is different. They are not cheap, as there are not many to be found.

Somewhere between $100. and $10,000

Welcome to the barn.

Welcome to the barn, just don't let the horses out when you come in. :-) :-)

Welcome to the site. Lots of knowledge here.;);)

Yes, the 55/56 Fords had vacuum wipers. Someone at one time mentioned that tri year scrub wiper motors could be adapted to work.

Yes, the exhaust pipes came out at the sides behind the rear wheels, and never came out at the bumper tips as shown in the red/white Parklane.

Intake manifold for a 390 weighs around 75 - 80 lbs.

It almost looks like the roof has been changed, because my Parklane had a higher 'crown'. If you look at a wagon, you'll see that the roof looks higher than a hardtop/crown vic.

After checking with friends, and members of different clubs, I have heard many more complaints from the Cokers, than the Diamondbacks, but the final decision is yours, of course.

Do yourself a favor, and get the Diamondbacks

If you check the roofline on the two yellow 55s in thread 11,against the 56 roofline in thread 13, it's easy to see the difference in the two. Thread 17 is again a sedan roofline.

Yes, we like to call it the"rust belt" :p:p:D

Don't think it started out as a Parklane, but rather a Crown Vic. The Parklane still had the taller windshield than the Crown, and it would take a lot of work to make the "Crown" fit a wagon roofline. JMHO :)
